Don’t compare. Don’t analyze. Just be yourself. Be yourself and breathe. Be yourself and appreciate who you are. Be yourself and just simply feel good. This is you, and this you that you are is absolutely magnificent.

“The best kind of people are the ones that come into your life, and make you see the sun where you once saw clouds. The people that believe in you so much, you start to believe in you too. The people that love you, simply for being you.”

Cinematography by: Joshua James Richards Nomadland (2020) Directed by Chloé Zhao Aspect Ratio: 2.39 : 1

Soon as Chloé started talking about “Nomadland,” I thought, “This is a camera that needs to move with Fern (Frances McDormand). We gotta be in a fluid, mercurial motion through this movie.” And Chloe agreed. It’s all about grounding you in Fern’s perspective, and the audience feeling like they are moving with her. I always said, “It’s like a rollercoaster.” Scorsese used that [to describe] Marvel movies, and I thought, “Why’s that a criticism? Riding a rollercoaster is what movies are like for me.” — Joshua James Richards for IndieWire, April 2021
